As you age (note this could also be just brain damage from the lack of sleep caused by little children), you begin to coast on survival mode. Your hair is cut when you have the time, self care is shaving today. The laundry isn't put away -- if you did so, you'd have more opportunity to change into a button-down shirt, but the cost of that opportunity is now too high (you have to find the shirt); instead of looking better, you choose the tshirt you copped at the bait-and-fish shop beside the trailer park, and the Levis you've worn 11 days straight. Success -- you've adopted some Dad thing you mocked while growing up into it, in that earlier chapter of your life. I love this video and its subject, because she's right. It's easier than ever to find a group to fit your peg into at an early age. You don't need zines, you don't need that group to be within a 5 mile radius of your home or a 20 minute drive if you're adventurous. I do appreciate learning about the current cool things, like palettes and softness/hardness of textures, inspirations from the natural world that don't try to reverse card the made world we spend the majority of our space within. The light academia aesthetic feels a bit timeless -- it can be long hauled across life's chapters and you'll still feel comfortable. Heckin' yeah.
